A
RESOLUTION TO PETITION THE NORTHERN VIRGINIA CRIMINAL JUSTICE TRAINING
ACADEMY FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM MEMBERSHIP

WHEREAS, on
January 14, 1997, Fauquier County entered into an Agreement Establishing
the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy (“the Academy”);
and

WHEREAS,
Fauquier County has enjoyed an excellent relationship with the other
localities participating in the Academy, and has received thorough and
effective training for its law enforcement officers at the Academy; and

WHEREAS, an
analysis of the current training needs of Fauquier County’s law
enforcement staff has revealed that participation in the Rappahannock
Regional Criminal Justice Academy would provide a more relevant
curriculum and result in significant cost savings; and

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Agreement Establishing the Northern Virginia Criminal
Justice Training Academy, members are prohibited from withdrawing from
membership while there are outstanding bonds; and

WHEREAS,
there is currently an outstanding bond with Sun Trust Bank in the amount
of $2,895,000, of which Fauquier County is required to, and intends to,
pay its proportionate share; and

WHEREAS,
the Agreement Establishing the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice
Training Academy is subject to amendment upon unanimous written consent
of the governing bodies of all participating members; and

WHEREAS, it
is the intention of the Board of Supervisors to petition the other
member localities to amend the Agreement in order to allow withdrawal by
Fauquier County upon payment of its proportionate share of the
outstanding bond; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED by
the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors this 19th day of
April 2004, That the Fauquier County Administrator be, and is hereby,
directed to take all actions necessary to petition for withdrawal from
the membership of the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training
